Hi Tony, In the unlikely event of you wanting to buy a Kindle, and I agree with you it isn't my cup of tea (I much prefer the human voice when I'm reading for pleasure), I'm afraid you won't be able to, as it is only available in the US. Cheers, Tim -----Original Message----- From: vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tony Sweeney Sent: 01 April 2009 16:20 To: vics Subject: [vicsireland] Kindle/In Touch Hi All, In view of the interesting mails to Vics recently re the Kindle E Reader (including my own of course) <smile> there was a very interesting piece on the In Touch programme last night giving the pros and cons from Blind groups and publishers alike! I certainly for one will not be rushing out to buy a Kindle any time soon I tell you! I mean the technology exists but for some of the publishers...!! You should be able to listen to the show online on the BBC's Listen Again section. Did someone mention "a match" tonight!! Better tune in I suppose!
